    Was looking in comet yesterday and noticed they have a washing machine made by “HAIER” fo £219 but it looks the same as the BOSCH washing machine which is priced at £389 even the door hinge is the same and if it wasnt for the name “HAIER” you would think it was a bosch.

    Can anyone shed some light on if this is made by bosch as it only seems to be available from comet and nowhere else…

    Why would Bosch do this if this is the case.

    You are having a laugh aren’t you, this is what Haier is.

    Re: IS HAIER ACTUALLY BOSCH

    Some years back, Indesit finished producing the late 90’s range of dishwashers. To be honest, they weren’t the finest dishwashers ever made, but there are plenty still runniong in my patch of Yorkshire.

    What happened next was that Indesit sold the entire production line – moulds, dies, jigs and presumably the intellectual property of the machines to the Haier company in China. This was for the 600mm and 450mm machines.

    If it were possible, the results are even worse. Updated electronics are a bit of a joke. The plastics used for the wheels runners and supports disintegrate when you smile at them. The circulation pump tiddles water everywhere, then seizes and blows up without warning. And then there is the flooding problem – the water level control system is hyper sensitive. That floods the base as well, and things blow up. Oh and the door hinges. Can we not talk about the door hinges? People finish up in hospital trying to sort out door hinges.

    Then there was trying to get spares for the little blighters. Things have improved somewhat, but a couple of years ago, we were all scrathing our heads, working out which Indesit bits we could make fit the Haiers…….

    Consider that European manufacturers cost in a 4{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} failure rate in the guarantee period – the Haier (last figures I saw) has an over 80{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} failure rate………..

    However, after the damning stuff above, consider – this is not the Haier company’s fault – they are a modern manufacturing company capable of turning out whatever quality of product you wish for. The fact that a number of British and Irish kitchen manufacturers and a couple of high street retailers (and Hoover!) want to buy a dishwasher for £45 on the docks in China in order to make a fast £100 in the UK has nothing to do with it. Haier need to keep the factories running and people working.

    The real problem is that the public at large are too stupid to realise that the product is cheap for a reason.

    Then they come on here and moan about it………

    Wakey, wakey!

    Oh, it’s got nothing to do with Bosch.

    Here here, Penguin. I totally agree. It really really gets my back up when people buy a cheap product, and after a couple of months, it breaks down- bang there goes the module, and then they moan and wonder why. I mean durrhh, theres a reason its cheap, its literally common sense that no one on earth would make an expensive quality product like a Miele or Asko and sell it on for tuppence they’d go out of business straight away. Really in my opinion, we are a stupid country.

    i did not know that i have never seen one.
    i can only hope it was made to a better spec than the haier, i have come across a few haier and they are trully terrible the door springs stretch, the baskets fall into pieces, when you get a new basket its in bits and is impossible to assemble, the leak and the edges of the cabinet are as sharp as a razor.
    i dont even bother trying to fix them now they are a waste of time.

    I was in Comet yesterday, and after being seduced by the Black LG (But am old enough to recognise a one night stand rather than true love) but can’t afford it anyway, I looked at the Haier. One glance at the instruction manual tells you its unreliable. If they can’t even spend money on real paper (remember Izal toilet paper from schools and hospitals – this is the upgrade) and the quality of information you know not to touch this one.
    And I know nothing about machines.

    Yeah and they are supposed to be having a detergent free (:lol:) washer coming out for £500 soon as well.

    I really do feel for the Comet support and engineers on that one as, by what I’ve learned thus far, it doesn’t work. 😉

    people have NO idea how bad the haier stuff is

    the motors on the washers are being changed on a daily basis

    pcbs you have to let run through the program, cos u cant reset em, and if they go faulty, theyre impossible to code

    they must be knockin em out for around £5 a unit
